Only Xinran is Kept in the Dark

At the same time, at a golf course in the suburbs, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue with white clouds, and everything looked peaceful and beautiful.

Someone lined up their shot, swung, and got a hole-in-one!

“As expected of President Chu, your skills are as good as ever. You make it look effortless, leaving us old guys far behind!”

“Hahaha, I told you we shouldn’t invite President Chu. With her here, we don’t stand a chance!”

“President Chu, you’re amazing! Are you taking on any apprentices?”

A chorus of compliments surrounded Chu Xuan, who had just made the shot. Everyone was eager to praise her, hoping to please her and gain favor in future projects.

Chu Xuan laughed heartily, handed her club to the caddie, and modestly said, “Thank you all for the compliments. Although I enjoy hearing them, I’m not the one you should be talking to today.”

Everyone was surprised and began to ask, “What? Isn’t President Chu here to discuss the project with us?”

“If you’re not talking, who can handle it?”

This was a multi-million-dollar project. Could Chu Xuan really trust someone else to handle it?

As everyone was puzzled, Chu Xuan clapped her hands and walked towards the rest area.

The golf course had prepared this area early on, filled with drinks, fruits, and snacks for the clients.

The seating was made of genuine leather sofas, soft, comfortable, and elastic, making it hard to get up once you sat down.

When everyone followed her, they saw a young girl in a white sports outfit and pleated skirt, showing off her long legs.

Someone exclaimed, “Isn’t that President Chu’s only daughter?”

“Is she the one talking to us today? It seems the rumors are true; the Chu family is really passing the business to an adopted daughter!”

“Shh, don’t mention that. Do you want to die? Whether she’s biological or not, as long as the Chu family acknowledges her, that’s enough.”

These whispered comments didn’t reach Chu Xinran’s ears.

Even if she heard them, she wouldn’t care.

Chu Xinran smiled and pointed to the seats beside her, saying, “Hello, uncles, aunts, I’m Xinran. I’ll be discussing the project with you today.”

The pure and charming girl smiled like a white jasmine flower, her smile infectious and endearing.

The representatives from other companies, following Chu Xuan, looked at each other, hesitating to approach.

They thought Chu Xuan was joking.

Could such a young girl, who looked like a college student, really handle this?

Was Chu Xuan trying to trick them into revealing their bottom line?

However, Chu Xuan’s next words dispelled their doubts.

“Whatever you can negotiate today is up to your ability. I won’t interfere.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up, suddenly filled with confidence.

Great! What could such a young girl know? Whatever they said would go!

“Come, come, let’s start with our XX company. We are…”

“I’ll go first! Our XX company is the best in the industry. You’re nothing…”

The people who had just looked down on Chu Xinran now swarmed around her, eager to maximize their benefits.

Chu Xuan sat steadily on the side, sipping tea and listening to their discussions.

Today was a formal opportunity for Chu Xinran to gain experience. If things went smoothly, many future tasks could be handed over to her.

Feeling bored, Chu Xuan decided to check her phone, intending to look at something suitable for middle-aged people. But just then, a notification popped up on the screen.

“Shocking! Game streamer Fang Zhou announces reconciliation with ex-girlfriend Qin Yun!”

Her fingers paused, and she squinted at the screen, clicking to see Fang Zhou’s familiar face.

Scrolling down, she saw pages of drama involving him and several ex-girlfriends, too much to read.

Chu Xuan felt a mix of amusement and disdain.

Such a man, and her daughter had been willing to die for him. It wasn’t worth it.

The only thing she was grateful for was that Xinran’s condition had improved significantly. The psychological assessment showed she had returned to normal levels, as long as she wasn’t triggered, she was basically like a normal person.

Wait… triggered?

Chu Xuan suddenly tightened her grip on her phone, unsure as she continued to read the message on the screen.

Would this count as a trigger?

What if Xinran saw this message, became emotionally unstable, and hurt herself where Chu Xuan couldn’t see?

Chu Xuan didn’t believe she could save her daughter a second time.

The favor of the god of death was a one-time thing. Who would dare gamble with their life?

Looking up at her daughter, who was confidently discussing the project with other company representatives, Chu Xuan made a decision.

She found her assistant’s WeChat and sent a message: “Sign Xinran up for a seven-day management training course abroad, now!”

Seeing the exclamation mark, the assistant knew it was urgent and immediately got to work.

About an hour later, Chu Xinran finally finished her discussions and walked over to Chu Xuan.

She squatted down, hugging her mother’s waist, and playfully said, “I finished the talks~ I hope you’re satisfied?”

Chu Xuan smiled warmly, patting Chu Xinran’s head lovingly, “For your first time, you did very well.”

Chu Xinran’s smile widened, but before she could celebrate, Chu Xuan’s tone changed.

“However, you still have a lot of room for improvement. I’ve signed you up for a management course in X country. You need to go now.”

Her tone was urgent and firm, as if she was eager to improve Chu Xinran’s abilities.

Chu Xinran was taken aback, confused.

“Huh? Go now? But I haven’t prepared anything…”

Chu Xuan interrupted her, “No need to prepare. I’ll have the old butler go with you. He’ll take care of your daily needs. For everything else, ask the assistant.”

She waved a piece of paper, smiling.

“To ensure the quality of your studies, you won’t be allowed to use electronic devices during the training.”

“I’ll keep your phone for now. The assistant will give you a basic phone for calls and texts. We’ll talk about everything else when you return.”

Chu Xinran was stunned.

“Huh? No phone or computer? That’ll be so boring…”

“Don’t worry. During the training, you’ll be so tired you’ll just want to sleep. You won’t even want to open your eyes, let alone play with your phone.”

“When you return, I’ll personally test your progress. Don’t disappoint me, Xinran.”

Chu Xuan smiled kindly but was very firm, leaving no room for refusal.

Seeing this, Chu Xinran nodded and agreed.

“Alright, I’ll go.”

This was a rare opportunity for improvement, and she wanted to grow quickly and become someone others could rely on.

Little did she know, this was a carefully planned move by her mother to keep her stable.

Thus, among Fang Zhou’s ex-girlfriends, only Chu Xinran remained in the dark, unaware of anything.

tln : yeah, tbh Xinran is the biggest landmine ever, nah, nuclear.
